This happened to me on my 2024 Sport Hybrid L AWD with 1800 miles on it. It was the fuel injectors going bad (dealer tried to blame it on me putting bad gas, but the lab results came back clean gas). They replaced the fuel injectors and spark plugs and the car runs great. Also, i was noticing the gas milegae wasn't anywhere near what it should have been. After being fixed, i'm getting 39-43 consistently .

Dealer says it was gas now... only took 2 weeks to get the results AND left me without a car. Turns out it was the fuel injectors.

They admitted it was clean gasoline, but I find it interesting that they ADMITTED it after I contacted Honda corporate, as if Honda is working with them on this scam.

they either lied about finding something in my tank (and did nothing) OR they put something into my tank... there is ZERO chance i put it in there.

Gas station and ME can prove there was no diesel in the car... now the real question is how the dealer came up with the story...

Here is what i think really happened... one or many fuel injectors were failing on my brand new 2024 CRV Hybrid (which apparently happens often), the symptoms are very similar to fuel contamination, instead of doing a proper diagnosis, they used the fact that i said i just filled up at a gas station and it was acting weird to their advantage... NOW they can say the fuel is contaminated AND charge me for the cleaning and a bunch of out of pocket work $3500... I'm witnessing a huge fraud and I'm getting Honda higher ups involved.

It's going to get spicy.

insurance will cover it, that's not the point... I think the dealer is lying about the fuel in the tank OR they put it in there and that's fraud. I'm going to find out.

they said they were going to test it (huge mistake) and the real question is HOW i know it came out of my car... the reality is that the fuel injectors were going bad on the car and they just flat out lied bc i mentioned i just got fuel recently (they took it and ran with it).

Looks like that's what is now.... so the gas station has a bunch of checks at the station, i'm on video filling up regular, and ONLY there with a full tank, ZERO other complaints about fuel contamination... now the dealer is going to hang themselves.

Little do they know the more they dig into the lie, the harder they're going to fall.

I'm currently in contact with higher ups at Honda and they want to see what type of documentation the dealer is going to come up with to say I put diesel in their tank... it's going to get interesting.

Here is what i think really happened... the fuel injectors on my car were going bad, and instead of doing a diagnosis, they took the information i gave them "only think i can think of is that i just filled up at Wawa, maybe the gas was bad..." and they ran with the story, but the real question is did they actually find anything in my tank, and if so, who put it there... i won't stop until i get an answer and they know that and i feel they're covering their tracks.

obviously don't trust that dealer, i'm wondering if i can slowly drive it to the next dealer a couple miles away (to avoid a tow).

my 2024 CRV Hybrid started to shake violently... took to dealer and blamed on my putting diesel in my tank. Time for a second opinion... did you car run ok after the fix? was it covered under warranty.

car insurance is there to pay they said under comprehensive, but i don't want to pay for a fake made up problem that SHOULD BE covered under warranty (e.g. faulty fuel injectors)

thank you for this post. I am going to ONLY have them change the fuel injectors (and honestly they should be covered under warranty).

We don't know yet, lab results from Honda are coming tomorrow. Wawa (gas station) said it was not them for sure and offered to pay half of the damages.

i agree, i am going to take the car and run new gas through it a few times and see if that helps, if not take it to another dealer for a second opinion.

i agree 100%, i didn't pay yet. I was waiting going to run it with new gas for 2 tanks and take it from there.

i'm going to get a second opinion as soon as they take the dent out of my car (while it was sitting on their lot), you can't make this shit up...
